Our first purchase!


I know we put a "no buying" rule on anything for the baby- but I just couldn't help myself- It's a book, so it will always be age and gender appropriate! And it was so darn cute!


The book is called "Mishka: An Adoption Tale" by Adrienne Ehlert and Miranda R. Mueller and it's the story of a little Russian boy named Yuri who lives in an orphanage.
His new parents bring him a gift on their first visit to meet him and he names the bear "Mishka". Well, his new parents must leave for a few months before they can return to get him and it's a sweet story about Yuri waiting and wondering about those new people that "talk funny" and "smell funny" to hopefully come back someday.
The love between Yuri and Mishka grows and they become best friends until his parents return........We learn that Mishka means "little bear" in Russian..... awweeee so cute!




They leave together after a long journey as a family- Mommy, Daddy, Yuri and Mishka! I know this will be a treasure in our family and we can't wait to share it with our child!
Hope you enjoyed your good night story! Love- Sarah
